“He/She is a Sai Student” is a phrase that makes any student that has passed through the portals of SSSIHL glee with happiness and pride.
Why? What is so great about being called a Sai Student?
To some of us, it is the joy of being a student of our God and Master, Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba (and let me tell you, the perks you enjoy are unlimited). To some others, it is the status they gain in society because of the level of standards that are maintained at SSSIHL (as instructed by the Founder-Chancellor Bhagawan Himself) and the multiple Skills they pickup.
To me, it is that and more!
It is the responsibility I now have as a Sai Student that drives me. Let me quote Swami (as we fondly call Bhagawan) here real quick:
“I want you to be leaders to protect the world. Leaders, like lions, self-reliant, courageous, majestic and just.”
Basically, my responsibility and mission in life is to become a leader to save the world from the wrath it is falling into. Isn’t that awesome? I do not have to break my head and think “How am I to contribute to society?” I am already being told what, when, where and how to do!
